Council Approves Downtown Strategic Plan

The Casper City Council recently gave a nod to the Downtown Development Authority’s strategic plan.  The plan was over a year in the making with several modifications being required in order for the Council to provide a “thumbs up” at a recent work session.

The plan was originally part of the Crandall & Arambula strategic plan that was developed for the City of Casper.  Elements of that plan were not popular with property owners and city staff so the Downtown Development Authority board worked with Crandall & Arambula personnel to hone elements of the original plan that would continue to provide a development pathway for the downtown core.

The DDA has begun the process of implementation and is currently working on several projects which include public restrooms, branding and wayfinding signage, gateways, residential housing, a corridor hotel and retail.

The adoption of the strategic plan will allow the DDA to pursue future grant opportunities.
